im not sure i understand your question fully, hav you got a ragdoll character, and you want to animate it now?? look up ik booster on the internet, that gives a nice rag doll effect because without any stops, whenever you move a limb, all the other bones will move accordingly

im saying everytime i make another arm then add gravity it falls through the floor unlike the other arm does, i make the 2nd arm the same way i made the first one too.

also every time i copy a object with gravity already on it, it copy's everything on the screen i delete all the stuff i wasn't trying to copy and the object i didn't delete falls through the floor just like the 2nd arm does.

Might be better off going to www.simplymaya.com if you need a Maya based tutorial.
